I wouldn't recommend Kajabi for someone that's starting to figure out what their product is going to be and who is the target audience. While one could argue the starting price point isn't high compared to having a brick and mortar store, it's also not practical pay between $100-$200 a month while the business figures out their offer. Kajabi is better suited for someone who has already tested their product, specifically courses, and can start selling it relatively soon after launching their Kajabi site. While Kajabi has come out with a coaching and community products, those are still in their infancy. The strength of Kajabi is in their course content delivery supported by the ability to have a simple website and email marketing system in the same platform.
We had an absolute breeze with the dashboard, notifications, privacy protection, reporting tools, the NextUp community's professional development opportunities, and network and tournament registration. However, we were less thrilled with the integration with our existing mobile coaching and parent's apps, eCommerce platforms, scheduling platforms, and web-based tools. Also, the marketing tools felt just a little cookie-cutter and didn't fit our needs as well as some other tools we've used.
The inbuilt themes are excellent but sometimes a small change is required to improve it - that then requires a code change which must then be reapplied if Kajabi issue an upgrade.
Once you get the "hang" of it, Kajabi is a very powerful platform. But it does take an investment of time. Kajabi also has a best-practice way of doing things and I feel that it is worth paying for skilled support to get through the setup quickly.
We are committed to it and once we get "really good" at using it, I think it is a excellent platform and links well to Hubspot. At present, we are still just barely scratching the surface with our use of its features
Kajabi is very usable. But it is complex and if you haven't used it for a few weeks you have to remind yourself how to do things. It is very important to treat it like any major system and be very disciplined about how you file things and name documents
The Kajabi Support people are helpful, fast and knowledgeable. I usually call in a panic - because I have lost something, messed something or am on a deadline. Sometimes we speak, or we do a chat. Always my angst is eliminated. I often thank the person for being "so patient" with me. LOL
These platforms are big complex pieces of software. Mor recently - Kajabi provides a done for you example which you can borrow and customise - but those were not available when we started.
ClickFunnels is a great tool for funnel automation, landing pages, and lead generation but when it comes to product delivery for content creators it lacks functionality as it reality it was not meant for that purpose. Originally, we used ClickFunnels for our funnels but we found out that we could do exactly the same with Kajabi, so we migrated all of our funnels to Kajabi
My favorite was Jersey Watch among all customizable automated scheduling, online registration, roster management, platforms. Jersey Watch included: built-in registration features, custom forms with questions and pricing that met the needs of our club. The donation feature to encouraged parents to donate at the time of registration. We had seamless communication with parents, players, and coaches. Also, the messaging tools allowed us to send emails and texts with a few clicks from your computer or phone with important updates like cancellations, registration announcements, and fundraiser info. We were able to ask candidates to complete background checks directly from our account; My second favorite was the Bench App. It was an app platform that was like the Trello of event organizing. Just the right features, with everything you'd expect, but nothing more. We found it easy and fun to use. It was a 100% free and ad-free app, but we outgrew it.
When we used Kajabi to launch new programs we achieved the ROI of our monthly investment each time.
With Kajabi, the ability to offer old programs that have been offered in the past is easy to present to one-off customers or when not in a launch series.
